Social programme:
A visit to the Söderfjärden meteor crater will take place on Monday evening. The bus leaves from the hotel at 17:45. If you wish to use your own means to get to the site, you may do so. See the map for the directions, if needed.
The conference dinner will take place on Tuesday evening at Janne's Saloon in Kuusisaari — an island where we get to after a cruise through the Vaasa archipelago. The departure time is 17:45 from the Vaasa inner harbor (15-20 min walk from Scandic Vaasa). See the map for the directions to the harbor.
The guided walk in Vaasa Old Town will not be organized due to insufficient interest.
Outreach event:
Elina Lindfors will give a talk entitled "Jännittävät mustat aukot" at the University of Vaasa on May 22 at 18:00. See the dedicated website for more information. See the map for the directions to the University of Vaasa.
